Snowbirds? Not this year...

We've thought about it. We've talked about it. We thought some more. We talked some more. We made the decision...no Florida for us this year.

Many things come into play but one biggie is having two wild and wooly puppies that need a ton of exercise. We still have a lot of training to do and staying here will let us continue to work on both of them, both in classes and at home.

Yes, it will mean less motorcycle riding but when I lived in the area for three winters, I rode some every month. It also means we can visit Dollywood again. We bought season passes and haven't had time to use them yet!

Another bonus will be decorating (a little) for Christmas and attending some of the local functions. So much to do here locally.

It also lets us get an early start on yard items next spring. We need to do a lot of pruning as well as weed 'n feed the lawn. The dogs have destroyed the lily beds, so some of those bulbs will get moved to the front and side yard. They will be replaced with some type of shrub that they won't play in. LOL!

What happens to our RV lot? Easy, we get it added to the rental pool at Bee's RV Resort. If anyone might be interested in renting it for the season, let us know and we will get back to you with the details.

We still have two weeks of cruising in late Jan-early Feb and we plan to go. We will compare prices and either drive or fly to Tampa. The pups will get boarded (together) and will be fine. We will miss them, but they will have playmates and won't give us a second thought. LOL!

This doesn't mean the end of our RVing, we're just slowing down a bit and trying to savor each and every day as it comes....

Ciao for now!
